The sweet little cup that says Mother on it has a little nest with an egg in it!

Obviously this can stay out year round!

Sorry...I could've done a better photo,

but I'm trying to get my blog updated

before Margaret in Switzerland gets her's done.

Speaking of MARGARET..... she sent me some goodies, too.... below is a little piece she made...

It's so sweet in person.... must hurry...

These little women were complaining that they had not been shown on my blog

this Christmas! So here ya go! I love them and hate putting them away....

Behind them you can see some paper houses friends sent me last year. None of them sent me paper houses this year. Why is that? Well, I guess Nathalie will say it's because she sent me a wooden house shape this year?

Below are some wonderful, special things from Anthropologie that my kids gave me...

The bird behind the bunny is actually from Crate & Barrel... but we love him, too!

Upon getting a second cup of coffee and glancing out the back window...

I saw something strange on the fence.....

I took A LOT of pictures!

I'll spare you the ones with his head

turned totally around

and the ones

of him peering down.

Didn't get any of the annoying Texas State Bird

accosting him.... our noisy Mockingbird!

Mr. Owl could not be bothered by Mockingbirds

or by the woman in the window

with her camera!

I was hyperventilating when he flew down to the patio!
After grabbing the big bug and eating it...
he looked at me as if to say,
"Take a picture, why don't you?"
..and he left!
I'm still watching for him tho....
First the snow.... then an owl!
What's next?
Christmas!!!
